A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
How artex removal works in Frogmore
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and rented flats before redecoration, involving stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In Frogmore, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Frogmore: your questions answered
Could my house in Frogmore contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Frogmore may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Frogmore and the area around Sandhurst station?
Yes, we cover Frogmore and the area towards Sandhurst station, about 0.8 miles north.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Disposal costs
- How many samples are needed
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
- Cracks or breaks
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
